What does the packet path WIDE3-1 designate?
- A.Three stations are allowed on frequency, one transmitting at a time
- B.Three subcarriers are permitted, subcarrier one is being used
- C.Three digipeater hops are requested with one remaining (correct answer)
- D.Three internet gateway stations may receive one transmission
WhyThe packet path WIDE3-1 designates a request for up to three digipeater hops, with one hop remaining. In an APRS packet path, WIDE3-1 designates a request for the packet to be repeated through up to three digipeaters, with the trailing "-1" showing that one more hop remains to be used before the request is exhausted, answer C. It has nothing to do with how many stations share a frequency, subcarrier assignments, or internet gateway routing, those aren't what a digipeater path setting controls.
